"Hollywood royalty, ingénue, activist, Oscar-winner, social pariah, movie star, trophy wife, aerobics guru, feminist éminence grise - there have been a lot of Jane Fondas over the years, and documentarian Susan Lacy lets each of these iterations have their say via a treasure trove of archival clips." (Rolling Stone)

"The #MeToo movement has been about pushing society forward, but it is also, inevitably, about looking back - about reconsidering all the ways a culture that thought of itself as "advanced" continued to denigrate women, sometimes in the guise of progressive action. That makes the lively, confessional, and entertaining 'Jane Fonda in Five Acts' at this tectonic-shift moment, an unusually timely and resonant Hollywood portrait." (Variety)
